How to Enable?​

To enable this feature, make sure the following steps have been taken.

1. Email Mode​

This feature is only available when the builder is running in email mode. Ensure that the builder is properly configured with displayMode set to email.

2. Identify the User​

For security and functionality purposes, the end-user must be identified with a valid email address. You can pass the email address of the end-user using the email property during the builder’s initialization. This helps identify the user for sending the email. This is the email address that the email will be sent at.

unlayer.init({
  user: {
    id: 1,
    signature: 'XXX',
    name: 'John Doe', // optional
    email: 'john.doe@acme.com',
  },
});

3. Setup Identity Verification​

Ensure that identity verification is enabled for the end-user. Identity verification helps to securely handle the user’s email address and prevent impersonation. Learn More

4. Enable Feature​

You can enable the feature by passing the following feature flag to unlayer.init.

unlayer.init({
  features: {
    sendTestEmail: true,
  },
});
